- First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund VIII – FT Vest U.S. Equity Buffer & Digital Return ETF – October is an actively managed, non-diversified target-outcome exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide buffered exposure to the price performance of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY). Trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange under the ticker DGOC, the Fund principally invests in exchange-traded flexible exchange options (FLEX Options) referencing SPY to provide, for shares purchased at the beginning and held through a specified annual Target Outcome Period, a buffer against the first 10% of declines in SPY’s price return and a predetermined positive “digital return” when SPY appreciates, is unchanged, or declines by no more than 10%. If SPY declines by more than 10% during the applicable period, the digital return is not paid and investors may experience losses beyond the buffer; Fund gains are limited to the applicable predetermined digital return, and investors do not participate in SPY appreciation beyond that outcome. The Fund resets its option portfolio and digital-return target annually in October, with the specific return level established based on prevailing market conditions at the beginning of each Target Outcome Period. Its products consist of listed ETF shares and a portfolio of FLEX Options and related cash or short-term instruments designed to implement the defined-outcome strategy. The Fund targets financial advisers, institutional investors and other investors seeking equity-market exposure with defined downside-buffer and fixed-return characteristics. Launched in October 2025, DGOC represents an expansion of First Trust’s Target Outcome ETF platform and digital-return product suite; First Trust announced the launch on October 20, 2025. DGOC is a series of First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund VIII, a registered management investment company, is advised by First Trust Advisors L.P., and is distributed by its affiliate, First Trust Portfolios L.P.; Target Outcome is a registered trademark of Vest Financial LLC. The Trust and adviser are headquartered at 120 East Liberty Drive, Suite 400, Wheaton, Illinois, United States.
